straight line equation and its graph

2. Graph the following equation. Plot at least five points for the equation: x + 4y = 5

3. Demand Equation. Helen's Health Foods usually sells 400 cans of Pro Pac Muscle Punch per week when the price is $5 per can. After experimenting with prices for some time, Helen has determined that the weekly demand can be found by using the equation: d = 600 - 40p
Where d is the number of cans and p is the price per can.
a.) Will Helen sell more or less Muscle Punch if she raises her price from $5?
b.) What happens to her sales every time she raises her price by $1?
c.) Graph the equation
d.) What is the maximum price that she can charge and still sell at least on can?

7. Retirement pay. The annual Social Security benefit of a retiree depends on the age at the time of retirement. The accompanying graph gives the annual benefit for persons retiring at ages 62 through 70 in the year 2005 or later (Social Security Administration, www.ssa.gov )What is the annual benefit for a person receive an annual benefit of $11,600? Find the slope of each line segment on the graph, and interpret you results. Why do people who postpone retirement until 70 years of age get the highest benefit?

11. Marginal Revenue. A defense attorney charges her client $4000 plus $120 per hour. The formula R = 120n + 4000 gives her revenue in dollars for n hours of work. What is her revenue for 100 hours of work? What is her revenue for 101 hours of work? By how much did the one extra hour of work increase the revenue? (The increase in revenue is called the marginal revenue for the 101st hour)
